SimPlan at LATC 2026 in Mannheim
10 years of LeanAroundTheClock – digitalisation meets lean
From 11 to 13 March 2026, LeanAroundTheClock (LATC) will take place in Mannheim, and SimPlan will once again be there as an exhibitor. This year, the event celebrates its 10th anniversary and offers three days full of lean, exchange and inspiration in the Maimarkthalle on over 8,000 square metres.
Our focus in 2026: AI-supported value stream digitalisation with SimVSM
At the SimPlan stand, everything revolves around the digitalisation of value streams. Together with our partner Sieben Consulting, we will be showcasing our new AI feature in SimVSM. This allows value stream maps to be digitalised automatically:
- From cards on the wall to a digital value stream model
- Simply take a photo and the app automatically creates the model
- Continue working, analysing and optimising immediately
AI, simulation and lean combined for future-proof processes
With SimVSM and our research projects on artificial intelligence, simulation and lean methods, we show how companies can efficiently digitise their value streams and tap into potential for continuous improvement.
Meeting place for lean enthusiasts and digitalisers
The anniversary programme of LATC 2026 offers a diverse line-up of international lean experts such as James P. Womack, Bob Emiliani, Niklas Modig and Mike Rother, complemented by numerous practical insights from companies and organisations.
The event brings together experts from production, logistics, consulting and research for intensive exchange, practical insights and new perspectives on lean and digitalisation.
We look forward to meeting you in Mannheim and discussing the future of lean, AI and value stream analysis.
Further information about the event can be found on the official LATC website: LATC 2026 – LeanBase.
